Spain vs. Chile: Preview and TV schedule

Thanks to being in one of the smaller UEFA World Cup qualifying group, Spain has an open date to travel to Switzerland to bank a little more money.

USA TODAY Sports

Spain took control of their World Cup qualifying group on Friday with their win over Finland, but because Group I is unbalanced, the current world champions don't have a second qualifier and instead travel to face Chile in a friendly in Switzerland.

Chile have won five our of their last six matches but have never managed to defeat Spain in five meetings. The last time the two team’s met -- also a friendly in Switzerland -- Cesc Fábregas’ stoppage time goal gave La Roja a 3-2 win. Spain won the last competitive match 2-1 in the group stages of the 2010 World Cup.

Isco has left the national team as he continues to recover from an ankle injury.

Match Date/Time: Tuesday, 8 p.m. local, 2 p.m. ET

Venue: Stade de Genève, Geneva, Switzerland

TV: ESPN Deportes (U.S.), TeleCinco Espana (Spain).

Online: ESPN3 (U.S.)
